Madhya Pradesh assembly passes bill awarding death for rape of girls aged 12 or less
"The people who rape 12-year-old girls are not humans but devils. They don't have the right to live," says Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan
The bill proposes ‘hanged till death’ sentence for convicts of rape and gang-rape cases involving girls below 12 years of age.
The Madhya Pradesh assembly on Monday unanimously passed a bill that will see rapists of girls 12 years or below being hanged till death. The move comes after the Shivraj Singh Chouhan Cabinet approved the bill last week. Called Dand Vidhi (Madhya Pradesh Sanshodhan) Vidheyak, 2017, the bill will be sent to the Centre and will need the assent of the President to become a law.
